Florida Highway Patrol says victims taken to hospital

A Jeep struck and critically injured two 17-year-olds Monday afternoon near an east Orange County Walmart, officials told Local 6.

The teens, one of whom was identified as Von Michael Fusco, had just exited a Lynx bus and were talking to each other when they were hit on Colonial Drive at Rouse Lake Road, witnesses told the Florida Highway Patrol.

The teens were not in a crosswalk when they were struck, troopers said.

The crash remains under investigation, but it does not appear that Keller will be cited.

Portions of Colonial Drive were shut down and traffic was being rerouted through the Walmart parking lot during the traffic investigation, according to troopers.
